Paintball to the front element! - Clean freaks beware

[ECPrevatte]

People ask me all the time, "How do you protect your equipment?" I just tell them, nothing. Some times I'll use a a rain cover, but most of the time I don't. The only filters I use is on the 17-40 that I put in bunker. It's kind of a debate for some people to use filters or not. If a paintball hits the front element it will shatter the filter and can scratch the actual front element, therefore being counter productive.



Huntington Beach, 2011 - Bad players, are what you have to worry about!

Well I guess it's better than being downrange of someone firing something else at you.

I'd be interested in seeing some more of your games action shots.

They did a pretty good job of coating your camera. Are you sure you want to call them bad players?

Aiming at the wrong people! We're the ones they suck up to after the event for pictures.
